The AAS tournaments are great for giving juniors experience of tournaments in a relaxed atmosphere - i.e no dress code for a start. They do adhere though to
GNAS rules apart from that. They have their own round - 3 doz each at 2 distances (as opposed to national rounds 4 doz and 2 doz), and their own age groups which are different from
GNAS (junior girls anyway).
However..
The indoor has been cancelled (was due next weekend), and I heard from someone at Lintman yesterday at the Guildford FITA that the May shoot might be run by Lintman and not the AAS - but don't quote me on this!
